GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
7.12 OPERATIONAL BALANCING
Horizon agrees that, if requested by Shipper, it will
negotiate with an entity that operates the facilities
interconnecting with Horizon at a Receipt Point (Balance Operator)
in a good faith effort to reach an agreement to deal with
imbalances at the Receipt Points specified (which would be a form
of a Predetermined Allocation), subject to the following
conditions:
(a) Such agreement must set out a mutually agreeable
procedure for dealing, as between Horizon and Balance Operator,
with any difference between confirmed nominations and actual
physical gas flow caused by operational conditions, so that any
such discrepancy does not affect any Shipper;
(b) The Balance Operator must meet the same
creditworthiness standards as Shipper;
(c) Horizon and Balance Operator must not have
previously entered into such agreement which was terminated because
of Balance Operator's failure to perform. Nothing herein is
intended to restrict Horizon's right to terminate in accordance
with its terms any agreement entered into hereunder, including
without limitation the right to terminate for Balance Operator's
failure to perform consistent with its obligations under the
agreement.
7.13 CENTRAL DELIVERY POINTS
(a) Contained in Horizon's Catalog of Points are
points which Horizon has designated as "Central Delivery Points"
(CDPs). A CDP is composed of all the interconnections between
Horizon and an individual local distribution company (LDC) in a
specific Zone that are within close geographical proximity as
determined by Horizon with regard to the operational constraints of
its system. CDPs may also be developed for other entities or
groups on a case-by-case basis, subject to any requisite approvals
by affected LDCs. Shippers may nominate deliveries under both firm
and interruptible Agreements to a CDP in lieu of the individual
interconnections that make up the CDP. Except as described in
subsection (b) hereof, all deliveries to the individual Delivery
Points which make up the CDP will be aggregated together for
purposes of allocating deliveries among Shippers and Agreements
pursuant to Section 9 and determining whether Balancing Service or
Overrun Charges and penalties are applicable.
